- Read, Matthew 7:13-14, John 14:5-7, and Roman 10:14-17. When Jesus said He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” what did he mean by “the way”? What is so significant in Jesus' calling Himself the way? How is His way different from all other religious paths? What is significant about “the Way" being a relationship, not a religion?
- Read Judges 21:25, Isaiah 45:19, John 18:37-38, John 3:19-21, John 8:32, and Romans 1:18-19. What do people usually mean when they say, “Truth is relative”? Discuss the possibility of two opposing beliefs being true at the same time. What happens in society when everyone decides their own version of the truth? Why do people prefer the idea of relative truth instead of believing in absolute truth?
- Read Isaiah 43:11, Acts 4:12, Romans 10:9-13, and 1Timothy 2:5-6. What is significant about the fact that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord can be saved? How does that balance the exclusivity of Christ being the only way with the inclusivity of the offer? How would you respond to the following statement: “A loving God wouldn’t exclude sincere followers of other religions.” In what ways does Jesus' being the only mediator bring both exclusivity and comfort?
